I was excited to watch @danielsz's talk on the Foundational Ideas of Lisp yesterday! Unfortunately, I really don't have the math (?) to understand things on the fly, so I'm planning to do a rewatch where I'll ask ChatGPT to explain things to me as I go

@gosha @danielsz Wouldn't searching for them on Wikipedia or StackExchange give more reliable answers? (Especially if you are just asking it to regurgitate definitions.)

@csepp yes, you are right. And also I forgot where I was posting, sorry.

@gosha It's fine, I didn't mean to be naggy about it, I'm genuinely curious if and why an LLM feels necessary. When I started watching technical talks like a decade ago and I didn't understand some concept I just turned to search engines and especially Wikipedia. When it comes to math, it tends to be pretty good. Mathoverflow also comes up often in my search results.
